Fingerprint singular points extraction based on orientation tensor field and Laurent series

Singular point(SP)extraction is a key component in automatic fingerprint identification system(AFIS).A new method was proposed for fingerprint singular points extraction,based on orientation tensor field and Laurent series.First,fingerprint orientation flow field was obtained,using the gradient of fingerprint image.With these gradients,fingerprint orientation tensor field was calculated.Then,candidate SPs were detected by the cross-correlation energy in multi-scale Gaussian space.The energy was calculated between fingerprint orientation tensor field and Laurent polynomial model.As a global descriptor,the Laurent polynomial coefficients were allowed for rotational invariance.Furthermore,a support vector machine(SVM)classifier was trained to remove spurious SPs,using cross-correlation coefficient as a feature vector.Finally,experiments were performed on Singular Point Detection Competition 2010(SPD2010)database.Compared to the winner algorithm of SPD2010 which has best accuracy of 31.90%,the accuracy of proposed algorithm is 45.34%.The results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art detection algorithms by large margin,and the detection is invariant to rotational transformations.

Computing Numerical Singular Points of Plane Algebraic Curves

Given an irreducible plane algebraic curve of degree d 〉 3, we compute its numerical singular points, determine their multiplicities, and count the number of distinct tangents at each to decide whether the singular points are ordinary. The numerical procedures rely on computing numerical solutions of polynomial systems by homotopy continuation method and a reliable method that calculates multiple roots of the univariate polynomials accurately using standard machine precision. It is completely different from the traditional symbolic computation and provides singular points and their related properties of some plane algebraic curves that the symbolic software Maple cannot work out. Without using multiprecision arithmetic, extensive numerical experiments show that our numerical procedures are accurate, efficient and robust, even if the coefficients of plane algebraic curves are inexact.

Fingerprint singular points extraction based on the properties of orientation model

A novel method for fingerprint singular points extraction including location and orientation is proposed based on some properties of the orientation field models. Singular points are located by clustering the results of corner detection. Then, through examining the sub-block orientation fields at a number of selected positions on concentric circles centered about the located singular point, an iterative method based on the orientation differences is proposed to compute the orientation of the core point. Experimental results on NIST4 and FVC2002 four databases demonstrate the proposed method can consistently locate singular points with the high accuracy. The location and orientation of the detected singular points can be used for alignment （translation and rotation） parameters in fingerprint matching.

Necessary and sufficient condition of C^0 flows on closed surfaces with isolated singular points having the pseudo-orbit tracing property

IN this letter we discuss the necessary and sufficient condition of C^0 flows on closed surfaces with isolated singular points having the pseudo-orbit tracing property. According to ref. [1], on a closed surface, every minimal set of a C^r(r≥2) flow is trivial, but it is possible for a C^0 flow to contain non-trivial minimal sets. Thus C^0 flows on closed surfaces are more complicated than C^r(r≥2) flows.

STUDY ON STRUCTURE OF SINGULARPOINTS OF LAMINAR FLAME SYSTEM

Under some certain assumptions, the physical model of the air combustion system was simplified to a laminar flame system. The mathematical model of the laminar flame system, which was built according to thermodynamics theory and the corresponding conservative laws, was studied. With the aid of qualitative theory and method of ordinary differential equations, the location of singular points on the Rayleigh curves is determined, the qualitative structure and the stability of the singular points of the laminar flame system, which are located in the areas of deflagration and detonation, are given for different parameter values and uses of combustion. The phase portraits of the laminar flame system in the reaction-stagnation enthalpy and combustion velocity-stagnation enthalpy planes are shown in the corresponding figures.

A Note on Parameterized Preconditioned Method for Singular Saddle Point Problems

Recently, some authors (Li, Yang and Wu, 2014) studied the parameterized preconditioned HSS (PPHSS) method for solving saddle point problems. In this short note, we further discuss the PPHSS method for solving singular saddle point problems. We prove the semi-convergence of the PPHSS method under some conditions. Numerical experiments are given to illustrate the efficiency of the method with appropriate parameters.

Centers and Limit Cycles for a Class of Three-dimensional Cubic Kukles Systems

In this paper the centers and limit cycles for a class of three-dimensional cubic Kukles systems are investigated.First,by calculating and analyzing the common zeros of the first ten singular point quantities,the necessary conditions for the origin being a center on the center manifold are derived,and furthermore,the sufficiency of those conditions is proved using the Darboux integrating method.Then,by calculating and analyzing the common zeros of the first three period constants,the necessary and sufficient conditions for the origin being an isochronous center on the center manifold are given.Finally,by proving the linear independence of the first ten singular point quantities,it is demonstrated that the system can bifurcate ten small-amplitude limit cycles near the origin under a suitable perturbation,which is a new lower bound for the number of limit cycles around a weak focus in a three-dimensional cubic system.

Hydraulics Management Model of Response Function Solved by Laplace Transform Boundary Element Method

In solving a response function by the boundary element method, the use of the singular valued method and the Laplace transform in a time domain makes the solving process be simplified and the result be accurate. The restricted condition matrix formed by the response matrix method is much smaller than that by embedding method. In addition, the response function may realize directly the management decision making. So it is efficient for establishing and solving hydraulics management models.

RADIAL SYMMETRY FOR SYSTEMS OF FRACTIONAL LAPLACIAN

These systems were categorized critical and subcritical cases. We show that there is no positive solution in the subcritical cases, and we classify all positive solutions ui in the critical cases by using a direct method of moving planes introduced in Chen-Li-Li [11] and some new maximum principles in Li-Wu-Xu [27].

Discrete Differential Geometry of Triangles and Escher-Style Trick Art

This paper shows the usefulness of discrete differential geometry in global analysis. Using the discrete differential geometry of triangles, we could consider the global structure of closed trajectories (of triangles) on a triangular mesh consisting of congruent isosceles triangles. As an example, we perform global analysis of an Escher-style trick art, i.e., a simpler version of “Ascending and Descending”. After defining the local structure on the trick art, we analyze its global structure and attribute its paradox to a singular point (i.e., a singular triangle) at the center. Then, the endless “Penrose stairs” is described as a closed trajectory around the isolated singular point. The approach fits well with graphical projection and gives a simple and intuitive example of the interaction between global and local structures. We could deal with higher dimensional objects as well by considering n-simplices (n > 2) instead of triangles.
